PUMP.

Application filed June 15, 1921. Serial No. 477,815.

To all whom itmay concem: Be it known that I, PHILIP A. MYERS, a citizenof the United States, residing at A'shland, in the county of Ashland andState of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inPumps, of which the following is a specification, reference being hadtherein to the accompanyin drawing.

his invention relates w pumps, particularly to domestic pumps of thekind known as frost proof pumps, 'in which the cylinders, pistons andvalves are located below the frost line, say usually about four feetbeneath the surface of the ground.

This appl the subject-matter originally presented in my previousapplication,Ser. No. 352,319, filed Jany. 19, 1920, which has resultedin my Letters Patent No. 1,385,143, dated July 19, 1921. I

The general object of this present invention is to combine with 'a powerhead a detachable mounting head adapted to be connected with the powerhead and to sustain the drop pipes which extend below the frost line andto connect with a pump head by which the upper cylinder is carried. andto which the lowercylinder is connected by an extension pipe. Thismounting head is easil attached to the power head and readlly detachableat times when it is desired to withdraw the the well.

In the accompanying drawings:

Fig. '1 is a side elevation of a power head and pump embodying myinvention;

Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail side elevation of the power head andmounting headwithv the adjacent devices; and

Fig. 3 is a. front view of the mounting gether with the pump head.

In the drawings the pump is illustrated as set in a deep .wellindicated.at 1. On suitable character, power head comprised of a casing 3contalnin' operating mechanism driven by a'belt pu ley 4. This mechanlsmincludes a guide, preferably in the form of' a rod orshaft 5 and a slideor sleeve 6 to which" is connected 9. a wrist pin 8 carrie driven bya'pinion 10 connected to the pulley 4. As these parts do not formfeatures ication is a division of part of pump structure from pipes andupper: cylinder, to-

MYERS, Ann I bolts 13with'their nuts and the shoulder r 14, the head having a recess 16 whichmatches the shoulder. In this Way the mounting head is' readily attachedto and detached from the casing, so that the same casing ma beused with;different forms of mounting eads, and so that this particular mountinghead may be used with some other form of casing or'power head.

Of course, under some circumstances, it may be desirable to otherwiseconnect the mountin head to thecasing or power head than in t e mannershown. I Connected to the mounting pipes 17, one or both of which mayconstitute air chambers. To one of them a delivery pipe 18 is connectedbyan elbow 19 connected -with a coupling 20. This coupling sustains anair pump cylinder 21 whose piston rod 22 is actuated in the mannerpresently to appear.

Both of the drop pipes 17 are connected with a pump head 23 upon whichis mounted the upper cylinder 24 of the pump and to which is attachedthe extension pipe 25 which extends down into thewell and carries thelower cylinder 26. A piston rod 27 passes through the cylinder 24 andinto the cylinder26 .and carries in each cylinder the usual" or anyapproved piston or socalled bucket. Both piston rods are connected tothe power mechanism, through an extension 28 projecting from the slide26' and attached directly to the piston rod 27 and through a bracket 29connecting the rod 22 to the rod 27. In this way both rods are actuatedat the same time so that as water is pumped through the piston rod 27and its pistons linders 24 and 26, air is pumped by the PIStOII' rod 22and its piston and cylinder21. Both the water and air are delivered intothe pipe 18 and then: stored in the tank 30 where'the pressure of theair, due to its expansion, operates todischarge head are drop a i thewater from the tank and to distribute it through any system of pipeswhich maybe connected therewith. a

It will now be seen that the mounting from all connection with theoperating mechanism. In the form shown the bolt and shoulder connectionbetween the mounting head and the casing or power head forms a strongand durable attachement of the parts, in which the shoulder 14 andrecess 16 aid in sustaining the weight, which is not at allinconsiderable-in case of a very deep well.

While I have shown and described an upper cylinder and an air cylinderas supported by the mounting head, it is to be understood that in lieuof such upper cylinder and air cylinder or in lieu of such uppercylinder alone I may substitute a mere packing gland-for the piston rod.Also that the piston rod may carry pistons in the ordinary sense 0amlieu of such pistons I may use what is known in this art as adifferential ram plungenthat is, a rod enlarged to form.

a plunger. Therefore, wherever in this specification I-refer to theincidental features of an upper cylinder or an upper cylinder and an airchamber I am not limiting myself to these details. ,Having thus fullydescribed my invention,

what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a pumping apparatus, the combination witha power head including acasing 1n which the power mechanism is housed, of a mounting headdetachably secured to a ,ver-

tical face of said casing, a drop pipe secured to the mounting head'and'a lower cylinder,

an upper cylinder all supported by such dropv head, an upper watercylinder sustained by,

the pump head, an extension pipe secured to the pump head, a lowercylinder connected to the extension pipe, a piston rod common to theupper and lower water cylinders, and another piston rod for the aircylinder,- and a connection between said piston rods and an operatingextension of the power mechanism.

3. In a pumping apparatus, the combination, with a casing ha vingflanges and. a shoulder, of a mounting head having a recess adapted toreceive said shoulder, and fastening devices to secure the mounting headto said flanges.

4. In a pumping apparatus,-the combination with a casing having fian 'esprovided with notches and a'shoulder, of a mounting head comprisingvertical and horizontal portions and having a recess to receive saidshoulder, and bolts fitted to said notches and extending through theupper part of the mounting head and provided with fastening nuts.

In testimony whereof, I affix 111 fans.
